gary@dorocco.com 1-250-485-7408 Hi Bernadette Thanks for the email with details about a new aquaculture license The app will be in my name on the Oliver property shown above. My mailing address is Gary Klassen Box 1000 Osoyoos BC V0H 1V0 Our farm is on 6.5 acres along side the Okanagan river. (the river was channelized past our property in the 1950s. Zoning on this land is AG 1 the title plan is 1790 Lot number 311 and DL 24505 We plan to use flow thru system with our new 500 gpm 80 deep well as the supply. We are licensed to draw this water at a rate of up to 600 gpm. Robbins Drilling is the did the development of this well. We have sent sample of the water to ALS for a complete analysis. We want to obtain the correct approvals to discharge the water into the Okanagan river. The River flows down into the osoyoos lake and continues down joining the Columbia river system in Washington. The river is fish bearing. Supply water will go thru a degassing and oxygen tower prior to discharge into an elevated storage tank. My plan is to do particle filtration assure compliance before discharge into the river. We want to have an approximate 300 cubic metre of storage tanks of various sizes. Several 2 M dia tanks with three main 10m dia grow out tanks. John Lawry is my specialist to help with design. John has many years of experience in the aquaculture industry. Our initial plan will be to start with the purchasing of 1 to 2 gram Artic char fro a certified disease free hatchery. We plan to grow the fish to 1 kg and market to white table cloth restaurants throughout BC and Alberta.As a backup for marketing we have a broker in Vancouver has committed to take any volume we plan to produce. We plan to use a concrete wall around the tank perimeter and cover the whole operation with a new green house complete with shading. Please accept this as our application for an aquaculture license to grow up to 50000 lbs of Arctic Char per year.

Hopefully we can help you with your outlet design. Please advise as to your requirements.

Hi Cindy, I disagree with the bullets regarding (1) "lack of consultation with Provincial Representatives" & (2) "consultation with FN". (1) The Province has been aware of this application since July. On July 5 - Gary sent in his application to Bernadette Aura, Natural Resouce Officer, Front Counter in Kamloops. Bernadette forwarded this application to Conrad Pryce, Section Head, Water allocation from MFLNRO who also involved Lora Nield Senior Ecosytem Biologist MFLNRO in Penticton and Sajid Barlas, Section Head Environmental Management, MOE Penticton. Both myself and Deb Hughes have been in touch with Conrad Pryce & Deb Hughes has also been keeping Sajid Barla, Lora Neild, and Des Anderson informed of any developments regarding this file. In turn, Conrad Pryce has informed us that a section 9 approval will be requied if the outlet of the pipe is below the HWM, and an Environmental Management Act, LAND-BASED FINFISH WASTE CONTROL REGULATION permit would be required. The proponent has already applied for his section 9 approval and continues to work with the Province regarding any other requirements. If there are other provincial representatives that should have been engaged, we should address this now so that similar issues do not arise in the future.
(2) DFO Aquaculture Resource Management will be engaging FN on this application, through our licensing processes. If both ITC and ARM are doing this, this a duplication of work. As far as the genetic risks to native stocks - Is concern now alleviated by the use of triploids and triple screening of effluent? In the future, I think there is a need to better coordinate work (i.e. who is doing what) between ARM, AEO and ITC, and better link our processes.

At this time, we have communicated to him the various concerns we have received: -Lack of fish health certification from the source facility -A Risk Assessment to be completed for arctic charr as per the National Code on Introductions and Transfers -A hydrological assessment for flood potential -Inspection by Local Fish Health Officer of facility -The absence of consultation with Provincial representatives -The genetic risks associated with hybridizing with native stocks -Consultations with First Nations regarding the intent of facility to discharge into Okanagan River In my conversations with Gary, he has provided the additional information: -The stock will be certified and has been triploid shocked (certification to be available any day) -He is looking to import 10,000 eggs for research in the hopes of developing a viable broodstock program. Shipment date is proposed to be November 20. -He has been consulting with First Nations in the area including the ONA Gary would like some indication as to the ability to meet the November 20 import date. He has invested time and resources into establishing his operations and has expressed that if this import doesn't look like it will be doable, he will be scrapping his whole project. I indicated that I would make one last attempt to the committee and all stakeholders today given the additional information so that if the project is a definite NO at this time, he can cancel his shipment and project today.
Thank you, Cindy

Hi ITC, So the madness has begun (again) for the Klassen file. This time he has hired a consultant to help with the set up of his site. He still wants to get triploid Arctic Char eggs from Icy Waters in the Yukon, are we still concerned that it is not an FHPR certified site? We have asked that an ITC application be submitted, but thought we could use a head start to this application. I don't believe a hydrological assessment has been done, does he still need one? Other information on effluent treatment, fish health and fish habitat can be found in the document below as well (Start at Page 18).

Hi all, Attached is Gary Klassen's updated application. He is going to be sending in some engineered plans separately (I will forward these on when I receive them). He has asked me to walk through the application with him Thursday morning to make sure he is not missing any info. I was hoping you could all take a look at it and see if there is anything else we need from him. He wants to move fish in June and it would be a great success if we could facilitate that for him this year. The earlier we get our requirements to him (if any), the better.
Thanks so much! <<Klassen Application April2012.pdf>>

Dorocco Developments, once/if an aquaculture licence is issued. Just for clarification, the role of the ITC is determine whether or not the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Ministry of Environment have concerns regarding the risk of ecological, disease or genetic impacts resulting from the transfer of the fish specified in the application, and to relay that information to decision makers.

Re:
OKANAGAN RIVER EFFLUENT DISCHARGE PIPE: MITIGATION PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Dear Mr. Klassen: Summit Environmental Consultants Inc. (Summit) is pleased to provide this Mitigation Plan (MP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for construction of an effluent discharge pipe adjacent to the Okanagan River. The effluent discharge pipe is part of an Arctic Char fish hatchery proposed by Dorocco Developments Ltd. (Dorocco) near Oliver, B.C. Dorocco has previously submitted a Section 9 Application and DFO Review for this project. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) have requested additional information on the project design, mitigation plan and environmental effects, as they relate to construction of the effluent discharge pipe, to supplement Doroccos permit applications1,2. This letter provides a description of the proposed project and environmental baseline within the project area. A proposed mitigation plan is presented below with an assessment of residual effects on the environment. This letter only addresses construction of the effluent discharge pipe.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dorocco is proposing an Arctic Char fish hatchery near Oliver, B.C (Figure 1). Project infrastructure will include a hatchery facility, waste settling basin, effluent discharge pipe and outlet structure (Figure 2). The hatchery facility and waste settling basin will be located in a private field outside of any environmentally sensitive areas (i.e. > 15 m from any watercourse). The effluent discharge pipe will cross the Shippet Oxbow and flood dike, and the outlet structure will be located on the bank of the Okanagan River (Figure 2 and 3).

June 28, 2012 Gary Klassen Dorocco Developments Ltd. -2-
The effluent discharge pipe will be constructed of sections of PVC and steel pipe (300 mm diameter) connected together by couplings and set in precast cement structures. The pipe will be buried in a trench from its connection to the waste settling basin to the outlet structure, with the exception of that section which will overhang the Shippet Oxbow. Generally, the trench will be about 1 to 2 m wide by 1 m deep. A 10 m wide by 3 m deep trench will be required to install the pipe across the flood dike (Figure 2); additional details on construction of this section of pipe will be provided in the Dike Maintenance Application for this project. The outlet structure will be precast in cement and set into place on the bank of the Okanagan River.
ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE
Summit completed a field assessment of the project area on June 15, 2012. Riparian areas adjacent to the Shippet Oxbow and Okanagan River are largely disturbed, mainly due to the flood dike and adjacent farm land (Photos 1 to 3). Riparian species present in these areas consist of Sumac (Rhus Spp.), Willow (Salix spp.), Wylch Elm (Ulmus glabra) and Cattail (Typha spp.). The riparian areas adjacent to the Shippet Oxbow are about 3 m and 7 m wide on the left and right banks, respectively. The width of the riparian area on the right bank of the Okanagan River is about 2 m. The bankfull width and height of the Okanagan River is about 50 m and 2.5 m, respectively (Figure 2). Flow in the Okanagan River was in excess of 70 m3/s during the field assessment. The banks of the Okanagan River are entirely composed of large rip-rap since this section of river has been channelized (Photo 4). Habitat suitability and availability is low for juvenile fish and high for adults. The depth and velocity of the river in this area is relatively high, with little cover, velocity refuge and habitat complexity. Juvenile rearing habitat is likely limited to the margins of the channel, while adult fish would utilize the entire width of the river. A summary of fish species present in the Okanagan River is presented in Table 13. The bankfull width and height of the Shippet Oxbow is about 8 m and 2 m, respectively (Figure 2). During the field assessment the wetted width and depth of the oxbow was about 1.5 m and 0.2 m, respectively. There was minimal flow (< 20 lps) through the oxbow during this assessment because the inlet was closed due to the risk of flooding. The banks and bed of the oxbow are composed of fines and organic material (Photos 5). Habitat suitability and availability is moderate for juvenile fish and low for adults within this area of the Shippet Oxbow. There is a general lack of habitat complexity and cover in these areas. The section of Shippet Oxbow adjacent to the project area is an inlet channel with high value habitat located further downstream. All fish species inhabiting the Okanagan River can access the Shippet Oxbow. An overview of the project area showing riparian areas, watercourses, project infrastructure and construction footprints is provided in Figure 4.

MITIGATION PLAN
Construction works will be completed by Dorocco and/or a designated contractor. All project works will be completed within the reduced risk instream work window for the Okanagan River (July 22 to August 31) according to Standards and Best Management Practices for Instream Works4. Excavation, infilling and re-grading will be completed using an excavator. These works will be completed in the dry from the top of bank in sensitive areas adjacent to watercourses. Water level elevations in the Shippet Oxbow and Okanagan River will be far below the trench elevation during the construction period. In the event that water levels are not below this critical elevation, works will be postponed until water levels recede. A double layer silt fence will be installed between construction areas and watercourses to prevent erosion and sedimentation. This fencing will remain in place until these areas are stabilized well after the construction and restoration periods. Construction materials and equipment required for the project will be stored in a designated location well away from any watercourses (>30 m). Material (sediment and debris) removed from the trench will also be stockpiled next to the trench, and not allowed to slough back into the trench or adjacent water courses. Excess material will

Page 112 FNR-2012-00335
be removed from the site and disposed of in an appropriate location and timely manner. Equipment will be refuelled from a tidy tank in a designated location well away from any watercourses (i.e. > 30 m). All equipment and machinery will be in good operating condition, free of leaks, excess oil, and grease. Equipment and machinery will be checked prior to entering the project area and frequently during construction. We recommend that hydraulic machinery have environmentally sensitive hydraulic fluids that are non-toxic to aquatic life and that are readily or inherently biodegradable. A spill contaminant kit will be readily accessible onsite in the event of a release of deleterious substance to the environment. All construction personnel will be trained in spill containment and responsible for responding to a spill. Spills will be immediately reported to the Provincial Emergency Program. Precast cement structures required for the pipe connections and outlet structure will be constructed in a designated area well away from any watercourses. Structures will be completely cured before placement so there is no risk of spills or leaching. These structures will be lifted into place using an excavator. Temporarily disturbed riparian areas will be restored to a pre-disturbance state immediately following the construction phase. Native plant species identified in Section 2 will be planted at a density of 1 plant per 1 m 2. Diversity of planting will mimic the natural surroundings. Native grass seed will also be broadcast in disturbed areas. Channel banks will be re-graded to a pre-disturbance state using the same material which was removed. Environmental monitoring will be completed on a full time basis by a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) to ensure compliance with BMPs and regulatory permits. A pre-construction meeting will be held to discuss construction activities, mitigation measures and environmental concerns. All construction personnel will be aware of environmental concerns onsite and the Section 9 Water Act approval will be kept on site at all times. The EM will have authority to stop or postpone works if there any environmental concerns. An environmental monitoring report will be completed and submitted to the regulatory agencies following project completion.
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The total temporary disturbance of riparian and instream areas will be 158 m 2 and 12 m2. These values represent a 4 m wide construction right-of-way along the pipe alignment. Instream areas are considered those areas of the channel bank below the high-water elevation in the Shippet Oxbow and Okanagan River. The total permanent loss in instream areas for the project is 4 m2 which consists of the outlet structure located on the bank of the Okanagan River. A summary of temporary and permanent disturbances of riparian and instream areas is presented in Table 2, with an overview of these areas provided in Figure 4.

Table 2. Summary of project disturbances.

Disturbances (m2) Watercourse Instream Riparian Temporary Permanent Temporary Permanent Okanagan 4 4 60 River Shippet 8 98 Oxbow
The proposed project will have short term minor impacts on riparian areas if the mitigation plan noted above is followed. As previously mentioned, restoration of these areas will commence immediately following the construction period. Impacts on water quality are not expected since all works will be completed in the dry and isolated using silt fencing. Temporary disturbance of instream areas are not expected to have an effect on fish or other aquatic biota since these areas will be dry during construction. The permanent loss of instream areas under the footprint of the outlet structure is not expected to adversely affect fish. This area is typically dry during most periods of the year and is only wetted during extreme high flow events. Moreover, this area is entirely composed of rip-rap which provides little habitat value for fish. Juvenile fish may use these areas to escape high velocities; however, there is abundant like-value habitat through this area of the Okanagan River so minor losses will have a negligible effect. The effluent discharge pipe will remain above the high-water mark in the Shippet Oxbow so there will be no adverse effects.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
Yours truly,
Adam Neil Environmental Scientist

Where rock riprap is used to protect against erosion, the upstream end of the riprap must be keyed (trenched) back into the bank so that the bank protection is not outflanked by erosion farther upstream. Rock riprap must not be end-dumped down the bank of the stream but must be placed against the bank/apron/toe trench using an excavator with a thumb. Holder(s) of water licences within one kilometer downstream are to be provided with an alternate supply of fresh water during periods when water quality may be adversely affected. Upon commencement of the project, the works shall be pursued to completion as quickly as possible.

Habitat Officers Terms and Conditions for changes in and about a stream specified by Ministry of Environment Habitat Officers, Okanagan Region Section 42 (1) of the Water Regulation gives authority to a Habitat Officer to add specific conditions to ensure the protection of habitat in addition to the conditions of general application. Under this authority, Ministry of Environment (MoE) Habitat Officers, Okanagan Region, require the following mandatory terms and conditions: 42 (1) To protect habitat, a person making a change in and about a stream 1 under this regulation, other than under section 44(1)(o) to (s) or (2), must make that change in accordance with terms and conditions specified by the habitat officer with respect to
a) The timing window or the period or periods of time in the year during which the change can proceed without causing harm to fish, wildlife or habitat, Windows of least risk for fish and wildlife, including some species at risk, in Okanagan Region can be found on the work windows webpage: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/regions/okr/wateract/workwindows.html Fish and Fish Habitat: 1. All activities in fish streams, as well as tributaries that have a risk of depositing sediment into fish streams, must be undertaken within a window of least risk to fish and fish habitat. Windows of least risk are designed to protect all fish species known to occur in a stream. If works are proposed outside the listed windows the proponent must engage a qualified professional to assess species and habitats present and determine if a site specific plan can be developed to ensure compliance with the Fisheries Act. The recommendations and the technical rational for the plan must be developed, signed and sealed by an appropriately qualified professional(s). A report must be maintained by the proponent in the event the works are monitored or a compliance inspection is conducted. If impacts cannot be mitigated to avoid the potential for a harmful alteration, disruption or destruction to fish and/or fish habitat, and the proponent wishes to continue to seek approval for the operations to proceed, the proponent must proceed with the process for obtaining an authorization from the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (outlined in section (h) below). Notwithstanding the above, the fisheries timing window is not applicable if the stream channel is naturally dry (no flow), or frozen to the bottom, at the worksite and the instream activity will not adversely impact fish habitat (e.g. result in the introduction of sediment into fish habitat or damage to fish habitat).

. A stream is defined in the Water Act as a natural watercourse or source of water supply, whether usually containing water or not, ground water, and a lake, river, creek, spring, ravine, swamp and gulch. For the purposes of this document, the definition of stream includes all those watercourses that are considered to be fish habitat, including channelized streams, and ditches that are fish habitat.
Page 133 FNR-2012-00335
Wildlife: 1. Most species of wildlife are at their highest risk for disturbance during the period where they raise their young. 2. Some may be at risk during their dormant or hibernating period. 3. Wildlife observation records can be obtained through the Conservation Data Centre http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/cdc for species at risk. 4. Habitat Wizard http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/habwiz/ provides observation records for other species. 5. The absence of an observation record does not confirm that a species is not present. 6. A qualified professional may be able to determine minor variances to these least risk work windows based on the location in the region and species presence. NOTE: In all cases, minimize the amount of time the work site is in a disturbed state by completing work as quickly as possible, while considering worker safety and minimizing environmental risk. b) The minimum instream flow or the minimum flow of water that must remain in the stream while the change is being made, The natural rate of water flow must be maintained upstream and down stream of the worksite during all phases of instream activity. c) The removal of material from the stream or stream channel in connection with the change, 1. In fish streams, the permanent removal of stable, naturally occurring material from the stream or stream channel is not permitted. 2. In non fish streams with a species at risk, or habitat of a species at risk, the permanent removal of stable, naturally occurring material from the stream or stream channel is not permitted. 3. In non-fish bearing streams without species at risk, the permanent or temporary removal of stable, naturally occurring material must be minimized and completed only as necessary to make the change in accordance with Part 7 of the Water Regulation. 4. The removal of material must not lead to stream channel instability or increase the risk of sedimentation into the watercourse. 5. Any spoil materials must be placed in a manner that ensures that sediment, or debris, does not enter the watercourse. 6. The spoil must be placed where it will not impact riparian habitats or impact habitats of species at risk
Page 134 FNR-2012-00335
d) The addition of substance, sediment, debris or material to the stream or stream channel in connection with the change, 1. Instream activities must be conducted in the dry (no water present within the worksite) and the worksite must be isolated from water flowing in the stream channel. 2. Measures must be taken to ensure that no harmful material (e.g. fuel and other hydrocarbons, soil, road fill, or sediment), which could adversely impact water quality, fish and other aquatic life, species at risk and/or fish habitat(including riparian and or emergent vegetation), can enter the wetted perimeter as a result of the project activities. 3. All equipment must be located and operated outside of the wetted perimeter of the stream unless operated from a barge where deleterious substances will not enter the water and in a manner that will not result in grounding of the barge. 4. Equipment used in close proximity to the wetted perimeter must be free of deleterious material (e.g. hydrocarbons) and in good mechanical condition (e.g. no fuel or hydraulic leaks). 5. Erosion and sediment control structures are to be available onsite and utilized as necessary. 6. Do not work in weather conditions likely to substantially increase the risk of sediment introduction to the stream 7. If approved, beaver dam removal must occur slowly, a portion at a time, in order to minimize scouring and the addition of silt to downstream areas. A dam breach should normally not exceed 0.2 square metres in area (i.e., a typical breach could measure 1.0 metre x 20 centimetres in size). All material removed from a beaver dam must be disposed of in such a manner that it cannot re-enter the stream. e) The salvage or protection of fish or wildlife while the change is being made or after the change has been made, 1. If dewatering of the worksite is necessary, fish salvage must occur on a fish-bearing stream prior to commencing works. A fish salvage permit must be obtained from the Ministry of Environment prior to commencing salvage activities (http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/pasb/applications/process/scientific_fish_collect.html) 2. If an area is de-watered as a result of beaver dam removal or modification and results in the stranding of fish, then these fish must be salvaged and returned to the stream. 3. Measures must be taken to ensure that operating equipment (e.g. water pumps) does not harm aquatic life. 4. NOTE if you are undertaking an activity in a red zone based on known western ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) occurrences (see LLP1), salvage mussels and relocate them to an areas with similar site conditions. Salvage must be untaken by a qualified professional and must be consistent with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Salvage Protocol (contact MOE Ecosystems Staff to obtain this protocol). Follow up monitoring is to be conducted for 2 years post relocation and reports provided to the Habitat Officer annually.
Page 135 FNR-2012-00335
f) The protection of natural materials and vegetation that contribute to habitat or stream channel stability, Minimize disturbance to natural materials and vegetation that contribute to habitat or stream channel stability. In addition to fish habitats this includes protection of riparian habitats for wildlife. g) The restoration of the work site after the change has been made, and 1. Complete restoration activities (including erosion control), as soon as possible following construction/disturbance. 2. Any disturbed areas must be restored to function as they did in their pre-disturbance condition (e.g. riparian areas, including grasslands). Appropriate native seed/plant/tree species must be used to restore the site to pre disturbance conditions. 3. Restoration must be completed in a manner that will minimize colonization and spread of invasive plants. h) The requirement to obtain an approval from the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans in connection with the change. 1. Proponents are responsible for complying with the federal Fisheries Act. No harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat is authorized by this document. If a qualified professional or Habitat Officer determines a potential HADD may occur as a result of the works, a review for formal authorization from DFO is required. If requested, the proponent will need to provide the Habitat Officer more information (including assessments by qualified professionals) to determine if an authorization is required from DFO. If you are constructing a dock (as defined in the Okanagan Large Lake Foreshore Protocol 1 ) the following applies: (A) An approval from DFO is not required when: 1. The structure is proposed on a water body not indentified in the Okanagan Large Lake Foreshore Protocol(1) (LLP) or in a no colour or yellow zone (as identified in the LLP). In addition, dock construction and design must meet all of the conditions and measures outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada Pacific Region Operation Statement for Dock and Boathouse Construction in Fresh water System 2 (ROS). If some of the conditions or measures of the ROS cannot be met then you must engage a qualified professional (fish biologist) to assist you in your design and construction to ensure a HADD does not occur. 2. The structure is proposed in a red zone (as identified in the LLP) where there is no shore spawning habitat, and a qualified professional (fish biologist) has been engaged to ensure all of the conditions and measures outlined in the ROS have been followed and that a HADD will not occur.
2. 3.
NOTE:
Page 136 FNR-2012-00335
3. The structure is proposed in a red zone (as identified in the LLP), and All ROS conditions and measures will be adhered to, except for Measure 3 (i.e. dock is in a known spawning habitat); and A qualified professional (fish biologist) has been engaged to ensure that a HADD will not occur, and All of the design criteria identified below are adhered to. Design Criteria: All instream works must occur during the least risk timing window; Piles are not to be placed within known or potential spawning substrates; The spanning structure (gangway) of spawning area must be no greater than 1.5m in width; The spanning structure (gangway) over the spawning area must be made with light penetrating materials; Dock must be no less than 0.5m above the high water mark, or the Geodetic Survey of Canada datum (if available); Batter boards are not to be used on the dock; and There will be no floating structures.
(B) An approval from DFO is required when: 1) A qualified professional or a Ministry of Environment Habitat Officer has indicated a HADD will likely occur as a result of your works, regardless of what lake or zone you are in. 2) The structure is proposed in a black zone on any of the lakes identified in the LLP (see section 6.1 of the LLP). 3) The structure is proposed in a red zone (as identified in the LLP) where there is no shore spawning habitat and the ROS will not be adhered to. 4) The structure is proposed in a red zone (as identified in the LLP) where there is shore spawning and ROS (except Measure 3), and all design criteria (listed above), will not be adhered to.

Re:
OKANAGAN RIVER EFFLUENT DISCHARGE PIPE: MITIGATION PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Dear Mr. Klassen: Summit Environmental Consultants Inc. (Summit) is pleased to provide this Mitigation Plan (MP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for construction of an effluent discharge pipe adjacent to the Okanagan River. The effluent discharge pipe is part of an Arctic Char fish hatchery proposed by Dorocco Developments Ltd. (Dorocco) near Oliver, B.C. Dorocco has previously submitted a Section 9 Application and DFO Review for this project. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) have requested additional information on the project design, mitigation plan and environmental effects, as they relate to construction of the effluent discharge pipe, to supplement Doroccos permit applications1,2. This letter provides a description of the proposed project and environmental baseline within the project area. A proposed mitigation plan is presented below with an assessment of residual effects on the environment. This letter only addresses construction of the effluent discharge pipe.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dorocco is proposing an Arctic Char fish hatchery near Oliver, B.C (Figure 1). Project infrastructure will include a hatchery facility, waste settling basin, effluent discharge pipe and outlet structure (Figure 2). The hatchery facility and waste settling basin will be located in a private field 31 m and 15 m, respectively, away from any watercourses and environmentally sensitive areas. The effluent discharge pipe will cross the Shippet Oxbow and flood dike, and the outlet structure will be located on the bank of the Okanagan River (Figure 2 and 3).

Page 141 FNR-2012-00335
The effluent discharge pipe will be constructed of sections of PVC and steel pipe (300 mm diameter) connected together by couplings and set in precast cement structures. The pipe will be buried in a trench from its connection to the waste settling basin to the outlet structure, with the exception of that section which will overhang the Shippet Oxbow. Generally, the trench will be about 1 to 2 m wide by 1 m deep. A 10 m wide by 3 m deep trench will be required to install the pipe across the flood dike (Figure 2); additional details on construction of this section of pipe will be provided in the Dike Maintenance Application for this project. The outlet structure will be precast in cement and set into place on the bank of the Okanagan River.
ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE
Summit completed a field assessment of the project area on June 15, 2012. Riparian areas adjacent to the Shippet Oxbow and Okanagan River are largely disturbed, mainly due to the flood dike and adjacent farm land (Photos 1 to 3). Riparian species present in these areas consist of Sumac (Rhus Spp.), Willow (Salix spp.), Wylch Elm (Ulmus glabra) and Cattail (Typha spp.). The riparian areas adjacent to the Shippet Oxbow are about 3 m and 7 m wide on the left and right banks, respectively. The width of the riparian area on the right bank of the Okanagan River is about 2 m. The bankfull width and height of the Okanagan River is about 50 m and 2.5 m, respectively (Figure 2). Flow in the Okanagan River was in excess of 70 m3/s during the field assessment. The banks of the Okanagan River are entirely composed of large rip-rap since this section of river has been channelized (Photo 4). Habitat suitability and availability is low for juvenile fish and high for adults. The depth and velocity of the river in this area is relatively high, with little cover, velocity refuge and habitat complexity. Juvenile rearing habitat is likely limited to the margins of the channel, while adult fish would utilize the entire width of the river. A summary of fish species present in the Okanagan River is presented in Table 13. The bankfull width and height of the Shippet Oxbow is about 8 m and 2 m, respectively (Figure 2). During the field assessment the wetted width and depth of the oxbow was about 1.5 m and 0.2 m, respectively. There was minimal flow (< 20 lps) through the oxbow during this assessment because the inlet was closed due to the risk of flooding. The banks and bed of the oxbow are composed of fines and organic material (Photos 5). Habitat suitability and availability is moderate for juvenile fish and low for adults within this area of the Shippet Oxbow. There is a general lack of habitat complexity and cover in these areas. The section of Shippet Oxbow adjacent to the project area is an inlet channel with high value habitat located further downstream. All fish species inhabiting the Okanagan River can access the Shippet Oxbow. An overview of the project area showing riparian areas, watercourses, project infrastructure and construction footprints is provided in Figure 4.

MITIGATION PLAN
Construction works will be completed by Dorocco and/or a designated contractor. All project works will be completed within the reduced risk instream work window for the Okanagan River (July 22 to August 31) according to Standards and Best Management Practices for Instream Works4. Excavation, infilling and re-grading will be completed using an excavator. These works will be completed in the dry from the top of bank in sensitive areas adjacent to watercourses. Water level elevations in the Shippet Oxbow and Okanagan River will be far below the trench elevation during the construction period. In the event that water levels are not below this critical elevation, works will be postponed until water levels recede. A double layer silt fence will be installed between construction areas and watercourses to prevent erosion and sedimentation. This fencing will remain in place until these areas are stabilized well after the construction and restoration periods. Construction materials and equipment required for the project will be stored in a designated location well away from any watercourses (>30 m). Material (sediment and debris) removed from the trench will also be stockpiled next to the trench, and not allowed to slough back into the trench or adjacent water courses. Excess material will

Page 143 FNR-2012-00335
be removed from the site and disposed of in an appropriate location and timely manner. Equipment will be refuelled from a tidy tank in a designated location well away from any watercourses (i.e. > 30 m). All equipment and machinery will be in good operating condition, free of leaks, excess oil, and grease. Equipment and machinery will be checked prior to entering the project area and frequently during construction. We recommend that hydraulic machinery have environmentally sensitive hydraulic fluids that are non-toxic to aquatic life and that are readily or inherently biodegradable. A spill contaminant kit will be readily accessible onsite in the event of a release of deleterious substance to the environment. All construction personnel will be trained in spill containment and responsible for responding to a spill. Spills will be immediately reported to the Provincial Emergency Program. Precast cement structures required for the pipe connections and outlet structure will be constructed in a designated area well away from any watercourses. Structures will be completely cured before placement so there is no risk of spills or leaching. These structures will be lifted into place using an excavator. Environmental monitoring will be completed on a full time basis by a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) to ensure compliance with BMPs and regulatory permits. A pre-construction meeting will be held to discuss construction activities, mitigation measures and environmental concerns. All construction personnel will be aware of environmental concerns onsite and the Section 9 Water Act approval will be kept on site at all times. The EM will have authority to stop or postpone works if there any environmental concerns. An environmental monitoring report will be completed and submitted to the regulatory agencies following project completion.
SITE RESTORATION
Temporarily disturbed riparian areas will be restored to a pre-disturbance state immediately following the construction phase. Native plant species identified in Section 2 will be planted at a density of 1 plant per 1 m 2. Diversity of planting will mimic the natural surroundings. Native grass seed will also be broadcast in disturbed areas. Channel banks will be re-graded to a pre-disturbance state using the same material which was removed.
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The total temporary disturbance of riparian and instream areas will be 158 m 2 and 12 m2. These values represent a 4 m wide construction right-of-way along the pipe alignment. Instream areas are considered those areas of the channel bank below the high-water elevation in the Shippet Oxbow and Okanagan River. The total permanent loss in instream areas for the project is 4 m2 which consists of the outlet structure located on the bank of the Okanagan River. A summary of temporary and permanent disturbances of riparian and instream areas is presented in Table 2, with an overview of these areas provided in Figure 4.

Staff with the Ministry of Environment have reviewed the above application and have the following comments. To ensure that a HADD of fish habitat does not occur during works and that impacts to other aquatic and terrestrial species and habitats I recommend the proponent meet the following terms and conditions: The Habitat Officers Terms and Conditions for changes in and about a stream http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/regions/okr/wateract/terms_conditions_okanagan.pdf Additionally I recommend the proponent review information at the following website to ensure they are in compliance with the Water Act: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/water_rights/licence_application/section9/index.html The Ecosystem Section of BC Natural Resources Operations recommends that a qualified professional (QP) be engaged by the proponent if proposed activities are inconsistent with the Best Management Practices, term and conditions, or the established work window. It is the proponents responsibility to ensure their activities are in compliance with all legislation, including the Fisheries Act. I recommend that the proponents plans include all the QP recommendations and that the QP works to ensure a HADD will not occur as a result of the proponents proposal. Additional Terms and Conditions Works must be completed by September 15, 2012. If you have any other questions or require further information please contact Robert Stewart at (250) 490-8253.
Sincerely, Robert Stewart Ecosystems Biologist
